Hermione woke up the next day and changed into her school robes. Last night Hermione couldn't sleep last night so she used some easy to apply dye and dyed her hair blonde. There is a saying Blondes have more fun so she decided to see if its true. She applied her  strawberry lip gloss and some perfume . Hermione took one last look at her reflection , satisfied with what she was looking at ,she headed to the common room to wait for Ron and Harry.

"Ron look at that blonde girl? You think she just transferred?" Harry teased.

"Oh shut up Harry I know I look bad,"

 "Bad?? You kidding me? Even Malfoy will be drooling over you , Hermione,"

"That's not funny Harry , it really isn't ," Hermione shuddered thinking about Ginny and Malfoy. "Ron, where is Ginny? Is she alright," Hermione asked again. Ron who apparently had a dreamy expression on his face suddenly realized Hermione was talking to him. Harry sniggered , "Ron , Hermione's asking you a question ,"

"Huh? Oh.. uh well Harry's down at dinner, I mean breakfast.. I mean Ginny is at breakfast," Ron said looking at Hermione.

"Well let's go then. Come on." and off the trio went to the great hall for breakfast.

As the trio was eating someone pat on Ron's back. "Hey Ron , where's Hermione and who's your new friend?" George asked. "My grandmother ," said Harry sarcastically. George bent forward to take a good look at Hermione and,

"Gosh Hermione you look.."

 "Gorgeous," Fred finished George's sentence.

"Yeah, you look great as blonde, honestly," George continued.

"Gee thanks ," said Hermione who was blushing furiously.

"Here's this year timetable," Seamus appeared out of nowhere and froze when he saw Hermione .

"Yeah, that's Hermione ," Harry said sniggering . Seamus just gaped at her, handed their timetables and walked away with his mouth open.

 "Oh no! Potions with Slytherin, first lesson today," Harry complained. Hermione glanced at her timetable and saw that they were having a lot of lessons with Slytherin this year.

Hermione entered the dungeon for Potions together with Harry and Ron who still wasn't used to her blonde hair. They took their seats right at the back of the class. Soon the Slytherin entered the dungeon and Hermione covered her face with a book. She didn't want Malfoy to see her, not now. She saw Malfoy glanced at Harry and Ron and noticed him searching for someone else. Unfortunately Malfoy headed towards them.

"Hey Pottyboy and Weasel,"

"Get lost Malfoy," Hermione snapped.

"Didn't remember asking you Miss. " Malfoy gaped, opened mouth at Hermione. Finally closing his mouth, his lips curled to an unpleasant smirk.

"Hello.. Babe and goodbye Miss goody two shoes," Malfoy wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and gave her a wink. Ron was red with Fury.

"Malfoy, let go of her, " Harry spoke seeing Ron's expressions which look as if he could explode any second.

 "Oh well well Pothead's trying to protect his little Hermione. Haven't you realized anything? Hermione has grown up , just look at her," Malfoy gave Hermione another wink and left .

Hermione headed towards the great hall after her last period for the day, Arthimacy. She saw Ginny , eating alone at the Gryfindoor table and went to join her.

"Hello Ginny," Hermione greeted trying to sound as cheerful as possible. Ginny smiled

"Been looking for you all day, Fred and George told me you've gone blonde. The new look really suits you,"

"Thanks, ermm.. I just want to know about ermm .. erm.. Mal .."

 "Malfoy? He's history to me .Had great times with him , now it'll just be my memories.. Don't worry about me we were getting bored of each other anyway," Ginny explained. Hermione wondered what great times did they had together..

"Its just surprising you know, I mean I thought you would be afraid of him since his father is a death eater," Hermione said before she could stop herself. To her relief Ginny smiled.

 "Draco's not a death eater, his dad is , and no way was his dad stopping me from liking him. Draco.."

 "Call him Malfoy will you ?" Hermione said .

"Why should I ? Draco isn't a bad name is it?" Ginny said teasingly. Hermione shrugged and flicked back her hair to her shoulders. "I guess so ."
